GALLIARD

---

Galliard

Fantastic band from Birmingham, powered by a horn section.

I´m not completely sure of the lineups, but I think this was the original one:

GALLIARD #?				1968-1969
Geoff Brown vocals, guitar, keyboards	Richard Pannell guitar	Andrew Abbott bass	Dave Caswell trumpet	John Smith sax	Leslie Podraza drums

+ maybe others, unknown to me.

I don´t know if John Morton, Tommy Thomas, Harry Beckett, John Hughes and Tony Roberts were members of the band, or just played in a session basis.

They released their first album, Strange pleasure.

Around 1969, Lyle Jenkins replaced John Smith:

GALLIARD #?				1969-1970
Geoff Brown vocals, guitar	Richard Pannell guitar	Andrew Abbott bass	Dave Caswell trumpet	Lyle Jenkins sax	Leslie Podraza drums

+ maybe others, unknown to me.

They released their second album, New dawn.

But Caswell and Jenkins left a bit later. The band carried on for a while, but it soon folded.

Dino Dines comes back to the band for a while:

KEEF HARTLEY BAND #7				?-Dec 70

But the new members don't stay long time in the band, and they leave the band in December 1970, after recording some superb sessions for BBC Radio 1.

Dave still appears in their forthcoming album, Overdog.
